How much PROFIT will Mel make from the Passion?
I think it will eventually gross over $500 million between theaters, DVDs, TV etc. He financed it himself, but theaters take a cut and so does the distribution company. How much will be left for him? About $150-200 Million?

2. I saw the film, and you blame the jews if you follow the film
but I don't think that's their main motivator. They hate Hollywood already and want this movie to "wake us up" and find jesus.

3. well I ain't seeing it...
sorry Mr. Gibson, but that's $8.50 less for you ($5.50 if I were to see it on a matinee ... uh, I mean not see it).

6. Then why concentrate on his crucifiction rather than what he stood for?
I dunno. I have not seen it. I outright refuse to see it, and not just because Gibby strays from the bible - which is okay because the bible has probably been translated dozens of times, with the translation being altered by the translator for personal gain.

8. I could care less of the film. I just like movies and saw it
this is Mel's pet project. I think the jew thing influenced him (his dad) and to show that "Jesus suffered for us". My remark was explaining what the freepers think, not Mel.

5. none
a lot of producers use creative accounting so that even the biggest hits show no profit.

7. Gibson IS the movie......
Producer, director, etc. His cut comes form the Gross, not the Net. Mel will rake in hundreds of millions off this flick!

9. Enough that he'll have more trouble fitting through the eye of a needle
than your average run-of-the mill camel.

11. enough to buy back the Vatican
and repeal Vatican II as his little sect would dearly love to do.

Maybe he'll give all the proceeds to Christian charities that help the poor... HA HA HA HA, HAHHAHHHH...
